We had an amazing trip The beds are so comfortable and the service is excellent. Really enjoyed the breakfast and there were separate vegetarian/halaal options which was awesome. we were just disappointed to get a 2nd floor apartment which was too low for a sea view, there were no apartments available on higher floors

Liked: Staff & service
We stayed a few nights at Belaire. It is was good value. The breakfast selection was very good and the size of the rooms were good too. Rooms have a table, fridge, sink and microwave so is suitable for eating in. Pool was nice but is not heated. Real shame there is no gym or spa. Hotel has many floors but only two lifts, which are often used by staff, so inconvenient waits during busy times like Breakfast. Area looks nice with great views from hotel of seafront and prominade. It looked safe, with many joggers early morning and late evening. But locals advised much caution, so we ended up taking Uber everywhere. The area behind the hotel does seem quite deprived compared the the seafront area. If you dont want to think about safety, stay in Umhlanga area instead as that seemed really safe

Had both, a nice tub to relax in and a beautiful shower. It was easy to find, had parking in front, and everyone was very kind and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.
